If you recall in my prior post on Process Art with Toddlers I mentioned how much I love an ongoing canvas for toddlers! I started one with Stella this time last year and she continuously adds to it every time that we paint! Today I'm sharing more about our process!

As an art teacher, there was never any doubt as to whether or not Stella would be immersed in the arts as a child!

I started introducing her to art when she was four months old, and have continued ever since! I am often asked if I think she has "the gift of art," or some profound talent, and I just laugh. Art is about so much more than natural talent, and so far from what I'm worried about when I paint with my almost two year old!

I know that I want philanthropy to be a big part of Stella's life. I want her to know how important it is to give back to the world. Stella and I have been painting together a lot lately, and so I decided it would be a perfect opportunity to collaborate and raise money for a charity.
